Fish the Poles love at the end of the week (5)
I believe the answer is:
snoek
'fish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'poles love at the end of the week' is the wordplay.
'poles' becomes 'SN' (North and South poles).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'at the end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letters of 'the week' are 'ek'.
'sn'+'o'+'ek'='SNOEK'
'the' acts as a link.
(Another definition for snoek that I've seen is " South American marine fish".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
